You know, in the Theocracy...the status of priests is quite lofty.
Because this is a country without any "traditional aristocracy".
The power of the Theocracy is not inherited based on "family", but changes repeatedly among different sects.
Perhaps the "industrial" jurisdiction in this area today is controlled by the Bishop of the Cup Girl, and will be reassigned to Father Sui next year, and then to Mr. Yao the year after that.
On an annual basis, the Cleansing Department will review and allocate the funds.
Under the watchful eye of the Seven Gods, the popes will conduct a "work report" to the Pope and the True God. Through the summary and discussion of the Seven Gods, the popes will fine-tune the work direction for the coming year.
Then the popes will promote bishops who are in good working condition within the church, and award those with outstanding performance - the award will naturally be the Seal of Holy Light.
Pope, pontiff, cardinal, archbishop, bishop, officiant, deacon, academic - all priests in the church have a very strict and systematic promotion path, regardless of faith or denomination.
If you enter a church school and graduate, you will become a scholar. Excellent graduates can directly become an assistant. If you directly enter the church to work, you will need to be recommended by the officiant for three consecutive years before you can become a scholar.
Once you become an academic, it means you have entered the large group of "priests". But academics are just the "academic" stage... After you get used to the special requirements of each sect and are familiar with the sect's classics, you can be promoted to a priest by the chief priest.
Assistant priest, began to formally learn divine magic, purify nightmares.
Only those who have performed sufficient merits, which refers to the officiant and aide who purify nightmares, can be promoted to bishop. After that, in addition to purifying nightmares, the "administrative ability" as a bishop must also be considered to be promoted to archbishop.
From archbishop to cardinal, one has to look back and consider the depth of the purification of nightmares. One must have at least more than a hundred idle holy light seals and master at least two high-level divine arts before he can advance to cardinal.
In addition to the appointment and dismissal power of the "archbishop", the cardinals are also elected among the cardinals.
Under the special political system of the Theocracy, theoretically any priest may become the pope... so the social status of priests is obviously higher than that of non-priests.
...Of course, I have also studied Longjing tea specifically.
This does not mean that promotion in the Theocracy is far cleaner and fairer than in other countries. Although they are a little more honest under the gaze of gods, people cannot be absolutely honest.
On the one hand, people pursue fairness, and on the other hand, they pursue unfairness. As for when to pursue fairness and when to pursue unfairness, it depends on whether you are above or below the line.
According to the research on Longjing Tea, the inheritance of power in the Theocratic State did not form a model based on blood and kinship.
However, they have formed another model similar to Japan's "school clan".
——Although in theory anyone may become a cardinal, any priest may also have the opportunity to become the pope, step into the Pure Hall, and even become the first person among gods, obtain the joint support of the seven gods, and have absolute power.
of the Pope.
But that's just a theory.
Priests who graduated from different church schools and were taught by different bishops were obviously at completely different levels in terms of their developed personal abilities and initial network resources.
The "tutors" who teach in church schools can range from ordinary bishops to cardinals. Once students taught by cardinals can get into the position of bishop, they can easily be arranged by their teachers to facilitate them.
Jobs where promotion is easy.
On the other hand, if the cardinal has a bad opinion of a certain bishop... then unless he can really achieve merit in a job that is assigned to a poorer and less likely to achieve merit, it is basically unlikely that he will be promoted to
Archbishop.
This means that at the level of "archbishop", there will be a huge promotion gap from "one year" to "a lifetime".
Since the bishops control the power of church schools, cliques between teachers and students are inevitable - after graduating from a church school, it will naturally be easy to return to work in a church school. Then there will be further formation of "
organize".
When bishops who are busy with government affairs in a certain area receive support from their colleagues and superiors, their work will naturally be facilitated.
In this way, different church schools will also have obvious tendencies due to the ruling area where the "cardinal" in the school is located, personal tendencies, and the type of work of the archbishops.
Once a cardinal is appointed, he will not leave office unless he commits a very serious legal violation.
This means that if you live long enough... it may even happen that more than half of the cardinals in a church have a joint teacher-student relationship.
Then it will be even more impossible for others to run for the Pope.
It allows the Pope to lend the "Pleasurer-class" airship and even send several priests - one of them, a priest at the priest level, is even directly affiliated with the Pope's faction.
Her mentor is a cardinal nicknamed "Red Crown" - and the mentor of "Red Crown" is the current pope of the Church of the Cup Girl.
Brown-haired ladies are not stupid.
She could tell that the person who borrowed the airship... probably had a much higher status than she imagined.
Maybe there is another holy pope behind them?
But as the pope who holds the cup, who does she need to please...
... Could it be that he is the pope of the mysterious lady?
It’s not impossible. After all, both wizards and ritualists belong to the mysterious lady...
The brown-haired and beautiful lady thought so, and the smile she showed when she looked at the four people became more sincere and heart-warming.
——Let’s not mention these aspects for now.
Just looking at their team configuration, it is also very impressive.
A sword master, a great wizard, a beast summoner, a wind dancer...
These are four Silver-level extraordinary beings, and they are all extremely young.
Why can she recognize that these people are really young and not strong men in disguise?
Because she could see that half of these four people were virgins...
Look at this strange professional composition...why are there two rare elven inheritance professions among them?
The brown-haired female aide was in a trance, even thinking that she had returned to the mythical era of the Third Age.
"Just to confirm again, you are going to travel to the Principality of Song Song, right?"
The lady with a charming smile confidently trimmed her long hair that she was proud of - it was pure brown hair with wonderful natural curls, fluffy but not dry: "Then I will be yours."
Be a tour guide.”
The other party's answer far exceeded her imagination:
"——Yes, but we are not traveling."
The big cat in the arms of the beast summoner said: "We may make an emergency landing when the time comes, so be prepared."
"...Crash landing? Directly in the gray fog?"
She was a little dumbfounded.
Are they planning to dig up Duke Skeleton's grave...or are they planning to do some other big thing?
